Strictly limited to 1996 pieces: Pikachu as a Steiff plush toy
Steiff x Pokémon: The two brands are collaborating on an anniversary edition of Pikachu.
Who doesn't know it, the yellow pocket monster Pikachu with the red cheeks? Since 1996, Pikachu has been the mascot of the "Pokémon" franchise. For the anniversary of the game series, the Pokémon is now also available as a plush toy from Steiff. But only for a short time and strictly limited: 1996 copies will be offered worldwide. And you have to dig deep into your pockets: the cuddly Pikachu costs 350 euros or around 325 Swiss francs.
The plush toy is 21 centimeters tall and the button in the ear on the tail is according to Steiff gold-plated. In addition, the manufacturer speaks of its "own Pikachu packaging". Steiff emphasizes that it is not a toy, but a collector's item.
The first 350 numbered Pikachus will be available exclusively from Steiff from July 24. Further copies can also be purchased in other shops from August 3.
Addendum: We will also be able to offer a small number in our Swiss online shop. Unfortunately, they will not be available until the end of September.

By the way: Collector's number 0025 of the limited edition was raffled off among registered visitors at the Steiff Store in Munich. The lucky winner can be particularly happy: number 0025 corresponds to Pikachu's entry in the Pokédex, the official Pokémon encyclopedia.
Addendum: It looks like we will also be able to offer some Pikachus. It is not yet entirely clear when they will be available in our shop, but the colleagues are working on it.
